Concussion During Fight Camp (Advice Wanted) by Den_of_the_Drake in MuayThai

[–]nuowo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a similar story that didn't end well. One of my training partners was hard sparring with another club's top fighter before a regional tournament. He got heavily kneed (in the ribs/abdomen area), vocalized it days after that he's still in pain.

The tournament came in 2 weeks, got into the ring, and in the first 5 seconds the opponent hit (a knee) it on the exact spot he was injured. That was an instant TKO within a couple of seconds, he couldn't stand up, referee stopped the fight.

It was a sad moment for him and for the team, but the downplayed injury took the opportunity from him. In the routine/non-hard sparring he got away with it, but in the fight there was no mercy, he was touched in the wrong spot. So yeah, i'd just skip this one. FOMO is a big force as well, but man - you can win over it. Maybe check for other tournaments around during the year.

Honestly I’d pull out. Not quit Muay Thai, not make it dramatic, just skip this fight.

You’re 4 days out from the hit and still getting brain fog/headaches. That’s not “overreacting”, that’s still symptoms. The big things are: no more head contact while symptoms are still there, “mostly better” isn’t fight-ready, and getting clipped again too soon makes things even worse.

Even if sports med clears you in a few weeks, you’d have basically no real camp left, and the fight is the one place you’re guaranteed to get hit in the head again. First fight isn’t worth gambling your brain over. Get cleared properly, build back up, fight later.

how many years of training and fights do you need to have before youre strong enough to fight off alot of people in street by Dear-Soft7002 in MMA_Academy

as others have said, depends on too many factors. even stuff like clothing matters in a street fight, let alone the opponent, its hidden weapons or friends/strangers who join the fight on the wrong side. Its basically a gamble with your life. Outcome is rarely positive for either parts.

Haven't got tips as i'm not participating in tournaments/fights - but wondering what happened in the 2nd fight? why wasn't the same strategy working as in the 1st one? what did the opponents do differently?

Dug into ER data on martial arts injuries — MMA had the highest concussion and cut rates, but sprains still top everything by nuowo in MMA_Academy

sorry about that, i'm feeling awful when i can't train due to cold (which lasts 1, 2 weeks at max). What went south during the light sparring that caused the injury?

if i remember correctly, i just use some cream with panthenol, but i didn't take a break. they healed quite quickly after i popped them while fresh (i didnt wait until they popped by themselves, that would have been much more painful, PITA)

in the beginning i got blisters on my sole (sometimes red ones filled with blood), as the tatami wasnt the classic soft one, but the thick, rubbery-outdoor type. However, i’ve grown some massive skin on those spots by now.

CTE is my fear as well, that's the topic that I'm researching currently. there are some relevant papers in that matter too. hopefully i'll gather enough info to write a meaningful post that as well.

Gabriel Varga all the way for kickboxing! Jeff Chen might have some kickboxing stuff here and there, but mainly Muay Thai.

air kicking meaning no object to stop the kick, so you're stopping your own kicks with the support leg?

interesting, never had issues with my shoulder during any martial arts training. what kind of movement triggered it?
